{"product_id":"shanghai-cantilever-parasol-aqua","title":"3m Deluxe Cantilever Garden Parasol in Aqua","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 3m deluxe cantilever parasol built for corner sofas, sun loungers, and anywhere a standard pole-through-table parasol won't work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe freestanding cross-stand sits beside your furniture rather than through it, so placement isn't dictated by a table hole. Crank the canopy open, use the pedal at the base to raise it to height, and tilt it to follow the sun through the afternoon. When not in use, it closes fully flat for storage or to sit out overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwenty-four ribs give the canopy a fuller, more structured span than a standard 8-rib parasol — and the 48mm pole handles the extra leverage of a 3m freestanding canopy without flex. UPF 50 polyester canopy in aqua. Pair with the 80kg Water Fillable Base for Cantilever Garden Parasols for safe freestanding use.
